LATE NEWS.

a special to the New York Herald
from Ottawa, dated August 14th says
A gentleman who arrived here this
evening from Batouche, small village
on the Gulf of st. Lawrence shore OF
New Brunswick, tells startling and
sensational story calculated to make the
blood boil III every American citizens
heart. He says that a fishing schooner
belonging to the United States has been
sunk by shot from one of the Canadian
cruisers, and that all on board were
lost The statement appears incredible.
but the reliability of the person who
communicates it can be depended upon
The affair, he states, was witnessed bv
couple OF Batouche fisherman, who
were OFT shore in rowboat, and who
carried the news home. After seeing
the terrible result of her shots, the
cruiser put to sea and was soon lost in
the night. The gentleman relating this
terrible affair says that every effort is
being made to keep it quiet. The num-
Der OF lives lost would probably be from
twelve to fifteen.
News OF the utter failure of the Labra-
dor fisheries, received at St Johns, n.
r, August 18th, confirms the worst
Tears Of the people. The alarming re-
port is received that 1000 vessels are
coming back clean, and that the remain
ing 500 craft have only few quintals of
fish each.
Thirty thousand people go from New
toundland TO Labrador every spring to
fish. Five hundred quintals per vessel
is fair catch. That gives those en-
gagged IN 1t fair existence. Last wear
the catch averaged less than 200 uuin-
tails, and there was starvation all along
the coast The whole hope of the peo-
pie consequently, depended upon this
years catch.
LIE Northern Labrador fisheries are a
total failure. Even the Straits of Belle
Isle fisheries yield less than last wear
while from Cape Race northward the
fisheries are such q failure that the catch
Will not average FIVE quintals per man.
Ihe outlook for the coming winter is
consequently worse than it was last
year; while from present appearances
nothing but transportation to the United
States or Canada, or subsistence at the
entire cost of the Government, will save
the whole resident population of La
Drador from starving to death.

What Becomes of Deer's Horns?

Mr.. A. S. Fuller, the well-known au-
thor, writes in the american Agricul-
t1riSt: what becomes of deer horns?
is often asked of persons residing in
regions where deer are plentiful, but
it is rarely satisfactorily answered
That the horns are shed annually, there
are no good reasons for doubling, for
it is a well established fact; but that
the horns are rarely found is also quite
as true, as stated by Mr.. Yoder in the
american AgriculturiSt for February
| well remember looking for shed deer
horns, many years ago, in the woods
of Wisconsin, and during one of these
rambles, extending over only few
hours, | saw fifty-seven very lively
deer, some with very handsome ant
lers, but failed to find a vestige of an
old horn. Upon inquiring of old hum
tiers, who We're supposed to know all
about the habits of deer, | was in
formed that when buck dropped a
horn he Immediately dug hole in the
ground and buried it out of sight
Upon further investigation, however,
| was unable to find person who ever
saw deer performing the operation,
or one who ever found horn that had
been buried by its owner or any other
similar animal But in late years
have had several opportunities to learn
where some of the naturally shed deer
horns go to, if not all of them. The
deer shed their horns in spring, and
they no sooner fall to the ground than
the wood mice attack them, and they
disappear before the teeth of these lit
tie rodents so quickly that few weeks
are sufficient to obliterate every yes
tige of the noblest pair of antlers.
Even the squirrels like to gnaw the
deer horns and fresh bones of various
kinds, and it is this natural or depraved
taste that makes our common red
squirrels rob birds nests when the
young are nearly full grown; for SO far
rs | have observed, they devour the
feet and legs of the birds only. | have
frequently made them drop the young
birds they were slowly torturing, and
have always found that they We're eat
ing the feet and legs. perhaps because
these parts had nutty flavor"

An Alaska Witch.

On Wednesday gray-haired, de-
crepit Indian came into town and
made complaint to the interpreter that
the Indian doctor, Quesse, at the
AUX village had ordered that he should
afternoon and asked that he receive
protection from the white men. The
interpreter laid the matter before the
court and the Indian doctor was inn
mediately arrested and brought up for
trial. The examination was held be-
fore Judge Dawson the succeeding
day, at which the following facts were
elected:
The Indian doctor had been for some
time past doctoring squaw who was
dangerously i'll from the effects of y
premature birth. Notwithstanding the
doctors hourly incantations the patient
rapidly grew worse. The doctor then
claimed his failure to cure her was
that she had been bewitched by the
complainant and that he was power
less to do her any good until the witch
was disposed of: therefore he ordered
him to be burnt, and as the squaw's
life was in danger it should take place
without delay.
After cleaning the facts in the case
the doctor and husband of the sick
squaw were brought up before the
bench. The Judge told them that
there was no such thing as witches,
and as they were now under the white
mans law they would have to give up
the idea of witchcraft, which the
prisoners said they were willing to do.
He told the doctor that if he persisted
in carrying out his intentions of burn
ing the supposed witch, now or here
after, he would hang, and that if the
plaintiff was further molested he
shaved. The prisoners were bound
over in the sum of 5000 to keep the
peace and were then discharged.
The shaving of the heads of Indian
doctors originated at Killisnoo, in this
wise:
A difficulty arose between the whites
and Indians there. An Indian doctor,
who figured as the most prominent
factor in the case, was ordered by the
whites to be shaved, the creed among
the Indians being that if one of their
doctors or medicine men is shorn of
his hair he is forever disgraced in the
eyes of the tribe. The doctor made
the threat that if his hair was cut off
he would cause the steamer James
town, then lying at anchor in the bay,
to sink. Thereupon the captain of the
vessel ordered the doctor to be taken
out on the parade-ground, in sight of
ALL and shaved as close as razor
could do it, which was done. But the
jamestown did not sink. Now the
Indians hold out the idea that shaving
the head of one of their doctors divests
him Of his supernatural power

The Color Line

Once every year the hearts of the
American people are reused almost to
the patriotic enthusiasm of twenty
five years ago. Sectional distinctions
are forgotten and North and South
alike unite to pay tribute to the mem
DRY of their noble dead. The great
principles for which they fought are
established. Coming at this time the
exhibition of color prejudice as shown
at the military parade at Washington
last week is particularly offensive to
the majority of people in the South
as well as the North. The Vicksburg
Southrons and the Memphis Zouares
dropped out of line in the regular
march going to the rear with only each
other for company for the reason that
they ..were placed behind colored
company from Virginia. Part of these
representatives of the fine old Southern
chivalry were also offended because
they had to march behind the Chicago
Zouaves, who were mechanics.
Neither of these companies of
Southern gentlemen" wanted the
President to see them near "nigger
or mechanic on an equality. A
commanding officer suggested to them
the ACCESSIBILITY of being packed in
pink cotton and expressed home, but as
the young f. F. VS. refused to accept
this proposal they had to stay on
and bear the humiliation of being bad
ly beaten in the drill and seeing the
prize carried away by the despised
western mechanics.
Slavery is thing of the past, and the
negro has found that he can be some
thing more than a servant of the white
man Mason and Dixon's line is a
sectional division not recognized now.
Social equality is matter not connected
with this, that will not be settled for
years longer. All that was required of
these companies was to occupy the
place assigned them. THIS they refused to
do. The colored company that caused
such ''envy, hatred and malice" came
to Washington with the Virginia State
Militia and also with several wealthy
gentlemen of very remote ancesty.
They receive such conduct as an insult
to them and the STATED for is in their
opinion that any one good
enough to travel with Vir-
ginia gentleman, is good enough
company for any one to be
found in The only conclusion one
can reach is that the elegant Southern
gentlemen has passed away and in his
place we find snob who calls himself
by that name without understanding the
elements Of what is required of those
who claim it.

Caught by the Lawyer.

A dramatic little scene occurred in
court here recently. 1t was no very
great matter, but it is pretty instance
of legal dexterity. The case was a
suit for damages brought in behalf OF
girl who had been run over by a
brewers wagon, and the testimony of
the plaintiff was fatty contradicted by
that of girl of her own age who had
been playing with her on the curb
stone at the time the accident occurred.
Both the girls, who were each about
nine years old, gave their testimony
with much directneSs and stood well
under cross-examination. The lawyer
for the plaintiff, however, at last got
the second girl on the stand, and after
asking her several unimportant ques-
tons, said aside to his associate coun-
sell Would you risk it?' The ques-
ton being answered in the affirmative,
he turned to the witness with the air
of man who wishes to make an i'm
preston:
